The workshop is a basic workplace for prisoners, letting them each some cash in return for processing materials into ready goods.

The rooms itself however doesn't satisfy any needs and functions only during time set for work in the regime. Therefore it's only used to generate revenue.

In order to be able to build a workshop and use it, you have to enter the bureaucracy menu and develop Prison Labour and Deployment. Then you can set a zone in one of the rooms and place the required objects there. Each workshop requires one saw and one press. You shouldn't have more of them, as the maximum occupation is two prisoners at a time and additional machines would just be just left unattended. However you should consider creating a few workshops, as that way the income will multiply. Of course it requires an initial investment, as the machines are very expensive, as well as materials which you process. What's rather obvious, both machines require constant access to electricity, so you should take care of providing it.

In order to hire more prisoners or fire them, you should head to Deployment and then Jobs. At this point you have to choose a workshop and make the required changes. Such an option is available only in locked rooms (i.e. with a door and surrounded by walls). It can be seen in the above screenshot.
